Product Description

The Breitling Navitimer 806-36 made its debut in the horological scene circa 1970, bringing with it a notable deviation from the conventional Venus 178 movement commonly associated with the Navitimer 806 series. Instead, the 806-36 is driven by the Valjoux 7736, a meticulously designed cam-operated chronograph movement that was adopted due to a scarcity of the Venus movement. This unique choice of movement resulted in the production of the 806-36 in limited quantities, rendering it a sought-after timepiece among enthusiasts and collectors alike. Characterized by its distinct larger subdials, the Breitling Navitimer 806-36 exemplifies a blend of functionality and style that is synonymous with the brand's heritage. While it was available for purchase until the closure of the original Breitling company in 1978-1979, examples of this particular model are now considered rare treasures in the world of vintage watches. The watch featured in the provided imagery has undergone a meticulous servicing by Breitling, a testament to the brand's commitment to preserving the integrity of its timepieces. However, it is worth noting that the original dial of this specific watch has been replaced during the servicing process. If you are in possession of an authentic version of the Breitling Navitimer 806-36, we invite you to share your photographs to further enrich our appreciation of this iconic timepiece.
